Simon Margolis is a knowledge management lawyer at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP. Simon was called to the Ontario Bar in 2020. Prior to becoming a knowledge management lawyer, Simon maintained a broad commercial litigation practice. Simon obtained his undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and is a graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. Prior to moving to Canada and attending law school, Simon worked as a policy intern at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) where he lobbied the United States Congress on autism services legislation.
Simon is not a labour and employment lawyer, but he is an increasingly-sought thought-leader on autism related issues in Canada and increasingly on neurodiversity in general. His main area of interest is squaring prevailing narratives about autism with the realities faced by autistic individuals in the workforce, including in the realm of disability accommodation.
